We gon’ make love:
Going to a college town for 4 years, I’ve met my share of frat douche bags that still carry this philosophy today.
Haggard the horrible
If you know this story then you like me have to be saying…wow…wow! If you don’t here’s the build up:
Known as Pastor Ted, Mr. Haggard is the founder of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, a founder of the Association of Life-Giving Churches and the President of the National Association of Evangelicals (a cooperative ministry for 300+ evangelical denominations of Protestant Christians in the United States). He speaks not only the WORD of GOD but THE word to 30+ million protestant Christians in the US (for those into math, that’s about 10% of this country). Colorado Springs has the highest concentration of evangelicals in the nation and is the “Mecca” so to speak for Christians touring the country, drawn to this epicenter of megachurches.
On November 2nd, 2006 a male hooker, Mike Jones, made allegations he maintained a three-year-long sexual relationship which included the used of methamphetamine during his visits with Jones. Subsequently he did not deny the accusations and resigned from all his posts within the Church and Association.
Attached is an unbelievably ironic clip from the documentary Jesus Camp of Ted Haggard commenting on his anti-gay stance:
Oh and by the way, he had weekly calls every Monday with Mr. Bush and some of his advisers, to advise the president on strengthening the evangelical movement in America… I guess hippocrates associate with other hippocrates.
Three caps n some Ripped Fuel…
I heard over the weekend… “Damn I should get into cooking crack!” Well this was in reference to a story I read in the New York Times about Indiana or some mid west state that was having problems with crack consumption… actually cooking… fools were driving county to county to purchase as much cough syrup so they could cook their own crack in bath tubs, motels, cars what ever… So they reacted by passing a law to ban the sale of more than 2 bottles of syrup at a time…
Turns out that was just a patch that has lead to a bigger problem. With the drop in home made supply, addicts had to turn back out to the street to dealers and of course the Mexican cartels were more than happy to oblige… of course their shit wasn’t home made… real lab stuff… 10-20 times more potent…
This created new problems… one, people started to OD because they weren’t used to the purity. Addiction starts to rise because of the potency. The new stuff is now more expensive and with more addiction creates higher demand, so indirectly they’ve created more crime. More people are robbing now, money for drugs. Violent crimes are up and there is still not a dent in the drug demand or addiction rate.
I wonder what its going to take, for law makers and the general public to realize that education, often and early is a better deterrent than laws. If we created an environment where people did not start to use drugs or were educated in the destructive nature of their use before hand, we certainly would create less users. But again, we’d rather protect our citizens by shipping money, jobs, infrastructure and support over seas before helping our own.
The reason for my own title on this blog: Today I’ve had 3 cappuccinos and took some ripped fuel after lunch… I was extremely productive; however, I know I’ll be hitting that wall some time around 1 am… who really needs crack when you have legal stimulants like these!
